Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Unhappy I paid for Limewire Pro and don't think It updated it, help?

Hello, I paid for Limewire Pro a month or so ago, did the download and followed all of the prompts. But, my limewire I have now is the exact same setup as the free old one. It still says "Limewire", not "Limewire Pro". Where did my $18.00 go ? for the "Pro" version???!!!!

Smile Thanks for your response

Thanks for your response, I followed the email prompts and downloaded what looked right, followed it all to a site that should download a 2.2.5 version of something and it took me to a Java download site. Now I'm lost.
I have a Mac OS 9.2. I've been trying to download a Mac OS 10 system so that all this new stuff can work, but can't find one that does. Help, please help....

Uh, "download" Mac OS 10? Really?
Gee, I didn't know that Apple did that.
Why don't you just go by the stuff and be happy cause if something goes wrong (if you are talking about downloading a crack of Mac OS X then it will probably be missing a couple of things) then you just pop up the disc you bought and presto! All well again.

Default being a jerk doesn't work for you...

Hey , thanks for that sarcastic and kinda rude reply. Being a jerk doesn't work for you so maybe you should try something else. What are you doing on Limewire anyway? Look up "Hypocrite" for something better to do with your time...

God, I get that a lot recently.
Apparently, people read more than I write in my posts.
Look girl, I wasn't being sarcastic or rude. (ok, so maybe the post came out a little as that and I'm sorry)
Face facts: did you or did you not mention that you wanted to dld Mac OS 10?
(hint: you did)
I really don't know if Apple does that or not.
And buying the disc (X-mas is gone so you just missed your chance) would make you happy precisely because if you had a problem with an application, then all you'd have to do is pop that disc in and restore the app.
Am I right or not?
(I guess I am)

Now, you mention that you tried to download OS 10 but couldn't find one that works.
Assuming that Apple isn't distributing non-working copies of it's products on the internet, then you probably didn't read the rules 'cause you're talking about warez.

As to what I'm doing on LW, then know that I (and everybode else here) am just a LW user that happens to know a thing or two more than a new user and am willing to share that (limited) knowledge with them.

And "Hypocrite"? What was that supposed to mean?

Exactly Murasame, if seaweedsara had have read this http://www.gnutellaforums.com/announ...?s=&forumid=29
then there'd have been no misunderstanding whatsoever.

There's methods of dealing with compressed dmg image files for OS 9. I suspect that's your issue. Toast 5 & possibly Toast 4 pro can do it. You just need to know what you're doing. Yes I say compressed dmg files as compared to just dmg files.

Default Is it possible to get assistance without attitude?

Is it possible to get assistance without attitude? This is getting fun...aren't we all downloading music/programs/etc. basically for free? no royalties for anyone? So lookup "Hypocrite" again next time you chastise someone looking for answers... My area of expertise is in creativity. Lightwave, Maya, director, photoshop, illustrator, premiere, after effects, quark and sound edit. It's really not a big deal about downloading Mac OS 10, just wanted to know if I needed it to be able to utilize the LimeWire Pro version I gave my $18 bucks for. I really don't see any difference between the free version and the Pro from LimeWire. So calm all your unutilized testosterone down and just be cool, & (we don't call people "girl" in this country frenchie).

All forums have rules & if you ignore them you will be warned. Continue & you will be banned. Simple as that. You have been warned.

I also am graphically trained. Some people might be able to work professionally with wares. But in my circles the answer is no.

Despite telling you to read the forum rules I still helped you. If you don't like it go somewhere else.

The one with an attitude here is you. You ignored the forum rules then got agro b/c a forum moderator made a comment about mentioning wares. And despite receiving help you still want to flame. You have been given a link to the rules which is posted at the top of every section of the forum. So let's leave it at that.

Nothing constructive can be made from continueing this thread so it will be closed. Help was asked & help given.
